I subscribe to "Falwell Confidential" and get some of the most amazing memos. It seems Jonathan Falwell is more political than I thought. I thought FINALLY the mouth from the South had been silenced and his ignorance went with him, but it seems Jerry Falwell's son is following in Daddy's footsteps and, basically, by his statement in this letter then "Two wrongs DO make a right." (here we go yet again).
(I printed most all of the email that I received as it is my property once it is sent to me).

Defending Ann
This week, I read that Ann Coulter had said some pretty shocking things about Democrat presidential candidate John Edwards.
I wondered why she would say such things.
Then, as Paul Harvey might say, I read the rest of the story.
Here’s the gist: On ABC’s “Good Morning America” broadcast, Ann Coulter was asked about some critical language she had used about Democrat presidential candidate John Edwards. In her response, she recalled something that the often coarse comedian Bill Maher once said about Vice President Dick Cheney.
She said, “… you know, Bill Maher was not joking and saying he wished Dick Cheney had been killed in a terrorist attack -- so I’ve learned my lesson: If I’m going to say anything about John Edwards in the future, I’ll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot.”
Her point was that Bill Maher, a liberal, can get away with saying the most scandalously terrible things about a national leader, so she’ll do the same thing since it is evident that that type of language is acceptable on the public airwaves.
But that language is not acceptable.
That is, if you’re a conservative.
And so the media has been reporting, quite erroneously, that Ann Coulter has stated that she wishes John Edwards was killed by terrorists.
It would be funny if it weren’t so pitiful.
You see, the truth doesn’t seem to matter these days.
The media appear to be more concerned with creating perception than reporting the news.
It sometimes amazes me that members of the mainstream press do not even comprehend the basics of a story. I wonder if they are simply slow-minded or if they are willfully blinded by their political agendas.
It’s got to be one or the other.
Whatever the case, it is increasingly evident that there is no equal playing field in the so-called mainstream media, the great embracers of “diversity.”
Miss Coulter was on the Fox News Channel’s “O’Reilly Factor” on Thursday night and she seemed to be worn out by the continuing dishonest portrayals of her words.
Who wouldn’t be?
So I say this to Miss Coulter: As long as you continue to contradict the policies of the mainstream — which expect us to gullibly accept everything they say — you will carry a target on your back. This is a truth that my dad experienced almost daily throughout his 51 years in ministry.
It is apparent that when you stand up for conservative values, and especially when you stand up for Christian values, you will be ridiculed. But as my dad often said, we are not called to be popular, we are called to be faithful.
Ann, rest assured, there are millions of people in this nation who appreciate your willingness to step into hostile fire in order to point out the inconsistencies of the mainstream. May you be bolstered by our prayers and well wishes.
Ann Coulter is a faithful Christian????? Yeah, when pigs fly! And Jonathan, what about Coulter's remarks about the Edward's teenage son who died in a car wreck . . . have you nothing to say about that as a Christian? Two faced hypocrites!
